Back in the middle of 2013 I wrote a post about Southwest’s Specialty Fleet.

The fleet included a bunch of planes with interesting and unique liveries. A few of them were part of the SeaWorld fleet which I believe are no longer around since the partnership ended last summer.

Southwest also has nine liveries dedicates to US states.

Now the airline has unveiled their newest specialty plane, a 737-700 called Missouri One in an event at Kansas City International Airport. The plane features “an artistโ€™s rendition of the Missouri state flag“.

According to the blog Nuts About Southwest, “With more than 30 years of service in Missouri, weโ€™re showing our commitment to the state in a big way!

The airline hosted a party to show off the new plane. On hand were Southwest’s Kansas City employees, “community partners, local dignitaries”ย and the airlines President & CEO Gary Kelly, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon & KC Mayor Sly James.

Along with unveiling the plane, Southwest also made a donation to Kansas City’s Science City at Union Station.

After the event the plane was to fly to Lambert- St Louis International Airport to celebrate there, also making a donation to the St Louis Science Center.

Check out a time-lapse video of the planes transformation:
